Thanks for shopping at The Quilters Retreat Store! Below are our shipping terms.

🇺🇸 U.S. Shipping

⏱ Processing Time

  • Orders are typically processed within 2–4 business days.
  • Larger or fragile items may take a little longer.
  • We don’t ship on weekends or U.S. holidays.
  • If there’s an unusual delay, we’ll notify you by email or phone.
  • Note: Shipping time is separate from processing time and depends on the method shown at checkout.

🚚 Estimated Delivery

  • Most U.S. orders arrive within 11 business days from the order date.
  • Custom-printed items (notepads, planners, etc.) can take a bit longer due to production.

💳 Shipping Rates & How We Ship

  • Standard shipping is free for $50+ orders
  • Quilt Kits & Backing Fabric: These may ship in individual boxes and may incur separate shipping fees per item.
  • Multiple Quilt Kits in one order? We’ll always look for the most cost-effective way to ship. If we can combine and save you money, we automatically refund any extra shipping you were charged.
  • Apparel & Housewares (T-shirts, mugs, etc.): These ship separately from our print partner and use rates based on their carrier costs.
  • If your final shipping cost is lower than what you paid at checkout, we’ll issue a partial refund after processing.

📦 Split Shipments & Tracking

  • Your order may arrive in multiple packages (e.g., a quilt kit from us and a T-shirt from our print partner).
  • You’ll receive tracking for each package as it ships.
